Maybe give away Jordan Rookies to pump up the Hoops boards? :lol:

They've fallen below Hockey, who has its devotees and great Mods. And more breaks would definitely help. I'm looking at some early Football releases...

And the more I think about it, the more I like the "group buy" of a HUGE, icon-type card.

I think that could be a great idea, but could also go very poorly if managed badly.

Oh, no question, but I think we have enough respectable, upright citizens and great Mods in place that with caution, it could be done. Who knows? maybe nobody would want the job...

If the stake to get in is relatively low, say $25, that would help reduce the worry too. It might reduce the amount but it would be worth it if it reduced the risk too. Plus, if you can make a "splash" with it, like at the National (too late for '11?) or FanFest, it would only help grow the site.

Can we instigate a cold cyber-war with another site? Something along the lines of Canadian Bacon. I'd be willing to pitch in to design "The Gilmore Hellstorm" device.

And now a serious suggestion - What about adding an arcade? PhpBB offers a free arcade to administrators. If we had a forum set up to go along with it (perhaps a sub-forum in General Chat) for people to post friendly competitions, it might generate something exciting and new for most people across the board rather than just boosting the baseballers, footballers, or the two basketball guys as an individual group.

They're just simple games, but do have high score features, and I believe a trophy gets added in your user profile if you hold the high score in a game. I think it could be fun.

I'm a member of another board (unrelated to baseball) and we all got bored and infiltrated a random emo band's message board. It was very funny but as the internet goes, they discovered our original launching point and re-attacked.

Took the mods a few weeks to clean that up

:lol:

fun few weeks

I can't believe I'm 30 years old and never ONCE contemplated trolling emo band boards.

I need to make up for lost time.

What are some awful emo bands? I'll start with Dashboard Confession. That's the only one I know

Sorry man. Didn't know about the foot, but I did notice you weren't around as much. I thought it was 'cuz Mr. Utley was in Florida and you were otherwise occupied. 8-)

My Chemical Romance? Are they from New Jersey? I think that was it.

Best part was, one of their members, post re-attack, stayed with us :lol:

There is a great message board for strippers. 8-) We hit them up too but as you can imagine, their mods are quick to ban

Create a box of cards which gets shipped around. For example, each person takes 10 cards out and puts 10 cards in. A lot to coordinate and organize but I remember those being a lot of fun in the past.

When I first joined this was happening. Would love to see it happen again, it looked like a lot of fun
